GM Transmission Defect

chevy transmission issues

Consumers have been experiencing issues with defective 8L45 and 8L90 transmissions in Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles. These issues, commonly referred to as the “Chevy Shake,” reportedly cause vehicles to hesitate, shudder, jerk, or “hard shift” when the automatic transmission switches gears during acceleration or deceleration. Drivers have said that this shift is sometimes so violet that they feel as if they were hit by another vehicle. GM has allegedly been aware of the issues with the 8-speed transmissions since 2015, which is the year they began releasing Technical Service Bulletins addressing the issues. These TSBs, however, only offered short-term solutions and did not fix the defective part. The most common example of this is “flushing” the transmission.

The issues with the transmission are said to be caused by the hydraulic system putting stress on the gears and wearing them down, causing metal shavings to become trapped inside the transmission and subsequently causing the component to malfunction. The most common complaints regarding GM’s 8-speed transmission are: shaking, shuddering, jerking, transmission failure, hard up and down shifting, sudden deceleration, stalling while driving, excessive oil consumption, and leaking fluid.

The following vehicles are equipped with the defective 8-speed transmissions:
